out to his car. what sparked the flight fight? ♪ i need some good news baby and, oh, baby. serena williams serving up some major news with this photo announcing she's pregnant. the secret she kept while winning a record-breaking grand slam. what will it mean for her future on the court? good morning, america. a lot of excitement for serena williams right there. >> a lot of excitement for her and posted this on snapchat saying 20 weeks, i think we all figured out what that was. >> she's engaged to the co-founder of reddit. she was celebrating as we mentioned that historic grand slam when she was eight weeks pregnant and no one knew. >> that is just incredible. great day for them. not so m

of sexual harassment accusations o'reilly got the news just after he met pope francis at the vatican that ended a more than 20-year run with the begin of fox news in 1996. he has been a cash cow for fox news for 16 years but advertisers abandoned the show after reported settlements were paid to five women accusing him of inappropriate behavior. rebecca jarvis at knox news headquarters with all the latest. good morning. >> reporter: executives here at fox news reportedly spent all day wednesday in back-to-back meetings deciding the fate of bill o'reilly, the network's top star, the show, his show, its top performer and after a deep review and consultation with attorneys, they ultimately decided to terminate their biggest star. >> again, thanks for watching us tonight. >> reporter: overnight the show known for 20 years as "the o'reilly factor" hit the air

factor." >> it is an end of an era here. as we mentioned earlier bill o'reilly is leaving this chair and this network after more than 20 years. >> reporter: just hours earlier 21st century fox announcing nearly three weeks after growing allegations surfaced about the star regarding sexual harassment and mistreatment that it is severing ties with o'reilly saying "after a thorough and careful review of the allegations, the company and bill o'reilly have agreed that bill o'reilly will not be returning to the fox news channel." >> caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. "the factor" begins right now. >> reporter: the murdoch family which runs fox news adding in an internal memo obtained by abc news, "this decision follows an extensive review done in collaboration with outside counsel." o'reilly who just hours before the announcement was photographed on vacation shaking hands with the pope releasing his own statement saying

tremendously disheartening that we part ways due to completely unfounded claims." civil war in congress, that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. >> reporter: for 16 years o'reilly's show was the number one program on cable news. bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars annually. but in the last few weeks at least 83 ad buyers dropped out. network executives reportedly worried that more accusers might come forward if o'reilly stayed on the air, making him a liability. >> they want their audience to know nothing's changing. bill has left the building, but nothing else is going to change. >> reporter: and for now fox news has revamped its prime time lineup beginning monday tucker carlson will take over o'reilly's old time spot. what we don't know at this point is how much bill o'reilly will leave with in severance. many speculating it could be in the ballpark of what former

network boss roger ailes took when he departed, george, that would be in the ballpark of $40 million. >> a lot of payouts from fox. we'll talk about it with our chief legal analyst dan abrams. reports that rupert murdoch was resisting this but in the end had no choice. >> remember, this isn't about those "the new york times" reports. this is what came forward after that. they were in a spot where with the number of allegations with paul weiss investigating and with them handing this to 21st century fox and saying, here's what we've amassed, that they may have felt that they had no choice. now, remember, this isn't in a vacuum. >> they were losing business. >> but i don't believe it was about the advertisers. i really don't. do i think that was relevant? yes. do i think that was the ultimate reason this happened? no. i think that they had promised a changed culture in the wake of roger ailes. roger ailes was an even more seismic event in my view than bill o'reilly. he created fox news. he led fox news. he led the

when roger ailes was ousted, it changed everything there. and i think that that ultimately led to what we've seen here and so you can't view bill o'reilly and just say, what happened to bill o'reilly? you have to view it in the what happened to bill o'reilly after roger ailes? >> getting rid of bill o'reilly doesn't end their legal vulnerability necessarily. >> for sexual harassment claim you got a three-year statute of limitations. anyone who believes he or she was harassed has to bring a lawsuit within three years. so i think that the vulnerability is going to be what limited there in terms of the time frame. but i think that this is more a pr issue. when i say pr it's also internal. you've got all the employees there. it's not just the people on the outside. it's not just the fans of the show. it's not just the activists. it is also the employees. >> real test for fox to see if they can survive without their star, their prime time lineup entirely changed. >> what they prided themselves on not

personality. it's the fox brand. that we can lose someone. we can lose another person. we still got fox. well, now this is the ultimate test because bill o'reilly was fox news to a lot of people. and when you lose bill o'reilly, now you're going to test it b butting look, they have a new team in there and i think -- i think people who say fox is done, don't understand fox. >> dan abrams, thanks very much. all right, there are some other important stories we're following this morning. a potential bombshell in the supreme court. there is speculation justice anthony kennedy may be preparing to retire and that may mean another appointee for president trump. the trump administration is saying they will review the iran nuclear deal and secretary of state rex tillerson calling it a failure despite iran's compliance. and president trump is ready to host the italian prime minister all ahead of his first trip overseas as president. much more on that. the new

headlines this morning. a 23-year-old d.r.e.a.m.er deported and now we know the judge set to hear that case is the same one trump attacked on the campaign trail questioning his impartiality. >> reporter: good morning. you remember this was a major controversy from the campaign that found then candidate trump under fire from even his own allies. the judge that trump said shouldn't preside over one of his cases because of his heritage is now presiding over another case involving the trump administration and immigration. this morning, the judge at the center of one of president trump's most controversial campaign moments is back in the spotlight. by complete coincidence judge gonzalo curiel will now preside over a controversy case involving the trump administration. a federal lawsuit brought by a d.r.e.a.m.er who was deported to mexico then candidate trump famously attacked the indiana

trump university suit calling him unfit to oversee the case because of his mexican heritage. >> this is a hostility toward me by the judge. tremendous hostility. beyond belief. i believe he happens to be spanish which is fine. he's hispanic which is fine. >> reporter: before curiel now a case involving juan manuel montez, a 23-year-old who illeg illegal immigrated with his parents, a so-called d.r.e.a.m.er who under president obama received protected status and president trump said d.r.e.a.m.ers would also be protected. >> they shouldn't be very worried. i do have a big heart. we'll take care of everybody. >> reporter: immigration officials pushing back saying montez had left the country making him eligible tore deportation. now it's judge curiel who is in the middle. so, how did this case end up before this judge?

are selected based on a rotating schedule. experts tell us this is basically a case, george, of legal rule loulette, a complete coincidence. >> we move on to secretary of state rex tillerson and his tough talk on iran. at a press conference he called the iran nuclear deal a failure. >> this deal represents the same failed approach of the past that brought us to the current imminent threat we face from north korea. >> our chief legal affairs correspondent martha raddatz is here. this came hours after they certified iran was complying. >> exactly. tough talk but they're not getting rid of the iran deal, clearly. this was the campaign that wanted to rip it up. wanted to start over saying it's a terrible, terrible deal. i think you'll see that in the coming months and keep saying that and try to see if iran is complying but i don't think -- >> the sanctions will remain lifted. meanwhile, the secretary of state's former ext

after sanctions -- >> they want to start drilling in the black sea. rex tillerson recused himself from anything involving exxon but on the hill a little outrage. john mccain saying are they crazy? >> meantime, we have russian bombers again off the coast of alaska being intercepted by u.s. fighters. >> yeah, just back and forth and back and. first we thought this isn't a big deal. they haven't done it a couple of years but in this identification zone, air defense identification zone and they should identify their aircraft, they didn't. they had to be intercepted by two f-22s on monday and then again awacs aircraft saying you have to identify yourself so a little provocation everywhere in the world. i think it's just to say, hey, we're here. we're still strong. we can come off the coast of alaska. >> martha raddatz, thanks very much. thousand to the report that supreme court justice anthony kennedy may accept down after 30 years on the everyone,

old appointed by ronald reagan considered the court's pivotal swing vote and part of his legacy is the newest justice neil gorsuch one of his clerks and jonathan karl has more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, amy. predicting a supreme court vacancy is tricky business. justices tend to be extremely secretive about their plans until they announce them but we noticed quite a hint in a small iowa newspaper. "the mu "the muscatine journal." chuck grassley's committee would hold the hearings on the next nominee. if there is anybody that would know about such things it is chuck grassley and more than that, amy, this is consistent with what i have been hearing in conservative legal circles for weeks.

that justice kennedy has been telling friends and colleagues that he intends to retire this year. possibly after the current term of the supreme court is up on june 30th. >> all right, so let's talk about that potential confirmation process. the president considered gorsuch to be a shoo-in but they resorted to the nuclear option changes the ruling to get him confirmed. how does that affect how another vacancy could be filled. >> reporter: the nuclear option has been exercised and the rules are changed so the next justice would require only 51 votes. there are 52 republicans. they have the votes to do it but replacing justice scalia with gorsuch didn't alter the balance. there are now four conservative, four liberals and right in the middle as the swing vote in many, many cases is justice kennedy. so that means replacing him with a solid conservative could significantly decisively alter the balance of power on the

supreme court. i expect that the next confirmation battle will be a much bigger more high-profile fight even with that nuclear option exercised. >> all right, jonathan karl, we appreciate it, thank you. michael. >> now to the investigation into former patriots star aaron hernandez's death. his family is questioning reports from officials that hernandez killed himself in his cell. abc's eva pilgrim is outside the prison in shirley, mass. good morning, eva. >> reporter: good morning, michael. this was a surprise to those who knew him. hernandez was in general population inside this prison in a cell by himself. authorities say there were no signs he would take his own life telling us, he was not on suicide watch. this morning, questions surround the death of former nfl superstar aaron hernandez. >> hernandez is back. >> reporter: something's not right. something doesn't add up. >> reporter: corrections officers finding him in his cell after 3:00 wednesday morning hanging from a bedsheet tied to a window. the bible verse john 3:16

the door barricaded from the inside. prison officials calling his death a suicide but this morning some of those close to him aren't convinced including his cousin. >> he was in really good spirits so for this to happen, we were shocked. >> reporter: hernandez's former agent brian murphy releasing a statement saying absolutely no chance he took his own life. chico was not a saint but my family and i loved him and he would never take his own life. >> the patriots are an incredible organization. >> reporter: his death happening the same day his former team visited the white house to mark their recent super bowl victory. but it was just last week hernandez was acquitted for the 2012 murder of two men. >> not guilty. >> reporter: emotional wiping away tears hearing the verdict blowing kisses to his daughter in court. hernandez a star tight end who once had a $40 million contract was serving a life sentence for the 2013 murder of his friend

degree. >> reporter: a verdict he was in the process of appealing. his lawyer calling for an investigation and saying, aaron was looking forward to an opportunity for a second chance to prove his innocence. now, authorities who are now investigating the circumstances of hernandez's death are looking at his recent time here in prison, any fights and any possible gang-related disputes he may have had. michael. >> all right, thank you, eva. just tragic all the way around. >> certainly is. we move on to an airport confrontation all caught on tape. a passenger, look at this, getting physical with an american airlines pilot after they deplanned and david kerley has more on what happened. good morning, david. >> reporter: amy, another sign of the tension between some passengers and flight crews. this one as you mentioned after a flight, a physical altercation. walking through the kansas city airport, watch as a passenger shoves a pilot. it happened last week after a flight from dallas. you can see the passenger trying

phone then the shove. the pilot tripping backwards over his bag then heading outside where his wife was waiting and police intervened. the passenger identified as edward foster told police this started when the pilot apparently traveling in the cabin was, quote, taking up too much room on the aircraft and being disrespectful causing foster to follow him outside the secure area in an attempt to take a photo of the pilot's badge with the cell phone. the police report says foster's phone was knocked out of his hand when this happened. this just days after that video of a united airlines passenger being dragged from an aircraft to make room for a crew member on a flight leaving chicago. in the kansas city incident although the pilot walked away from the altercation police say he, quote, suffered lacerations to both legs and bruising to his forearm. now, the suspect was charged with intentionally inflicting injury and will be in

month. facing the possibility of a fine and up to six months in jail, guys. >> all right, david kerley, thanks so much. lots of tense moments in airports. people trying to get around. >> another tense moment caught on tape in southern california. a man's car got wedged into the back of this truck and the driver, truck driver apparently had no idea and drove for four miles like this even with other drivers trying to get his attention. when he realized he pulled over the driver of the car waving there saying, please stop. >> oh, my god. >> appeared a little dazed. >> calm considering. >> pretty calm considering. good reminder, do not tailgate. >> yes. >> that is a very visual reminder. >> yes, absolutely. let's go to rob with severe weather moving into the midwest. >> we had hail across parts of kansas. 60-mile-an-hour winds from michigan and today, detroit, back through texas and oklahoma by this evening, a bigger system coming in for tomorrow that would include dallas and oklaho c

bill o'reilly's abrupt exit and what it mean for the network under fire. mr. a dozen women have come forward with allegations against o'reilly and roger ailes who stepped down amid controversy. since then the company has been promising change. abc's linsey davis is here with more on that, good morning, linsey. >> reporter: good morning, amy. while change typically doesn't happen overnight the network which touts itself as being fair and balanced is sending a message that is loud and clear but many are asking if there is a sexist culture at fox as many accusers allege, how deep will the cuts go to eliminate it? one by one they stood up against a media giant. women from in front of the camera like well-known anchors megyn kelly and gretchen carlson to guests on the show to women who work behind the scenes in production and payroll. >> it's time to come out of the shadows. >> reporter: together they are shaking up one of the most powerful networks in the world describing it a

sexual harassment and racial discrimination. >> we are calling today for an independent investigation into the culture of sexual harassment at fox news. >> reporter: these accusers say it's a culture that comes from the top down. allegedly from former ceo roger ailes -- >> he tried to kiss me three times. so, i rejected that and when i rejected that he asked me when my contract was up. >> hi, i'm bill o'reilly. >> to its newly fallen top star bill o'reilly to female employees like former head of accounting judith slater all forced out under the weight of the allegations against them. despite o'reilly and ailes blanket denials of wrongdoing. the question now will this be enough to change the troubled culture at fox? >> we need a massive investigation, probably by an outside agency. no one believed they could come forward and use this so-called anonymous process to make a claim. so, they've got to start there. >> reporter: parent company 21s

steep price for these allegations paying $20 million to settle carlson's suit against ailes. another $40 million to ailes himself after his ouster and a portion of the 13 million to settle five claims against o'reilly over the last 15 years. now, the justice department is investigating whether the network failed to inform shareholders about settlements made over sexual harassment allegations against ailes. >> he told me early in the dinner he thought i was a very beautiful woman. >> reporter: as for the woman who case became the proverbial straw that broke the back of o'reilly's career at fox she said it was never about money but came forward in the hopes of bringing about systemic change. >> i think it will have a positive effect at fox news. i'm sure we will see many people come forward and i hope that maybe i played a part in that. >> reporter: the lawyer who represented several accusers including gretchen carlson says she will continue to fight. she says that

of the executives who enabled the harassment, the workplace will not be safe for women and now new reports this morning that more women are coming forward and joining the racial discrimination lawsuit against fox. amy. >> all right, linsey, thank you very much. attorney lisa bloom who represents several women accusing bill o'reilly of misconduct is here with us now. lisa, you're not surprised by what happened yesterday, the removing of bill o'reilly. >> no, i told wendy walsh months ago if you come forward i will stand with you. we will have a legal strategy. we will have a media strategy and we will take him down. because it's time. he's driven out too many women, not only out of fox news but out of the television industry entirely. simply because they opposed him on sexual harassment. >> bill o'reilly released a statement in part saying it is tremendously disheartening we part ways due to completely unfounded claims and completely deny the accusations and now reports he may be getting as big a payout of roger ailes upwards of $40 million. aren't those conflicting

fox news did an 'and we participated behind the scenes and had every economic motivation to keep him yet they found the claims were good and well founded. >> all right. and then roger ailes, obviously, let go last year as we mentioned. fox news said they were working to maintain an atmosphere of culture and respect. are they making good on that promise? >> well, this is a very important first step. it's 1 years in the making since the first sexual harassment claim against o'reilly but at least they're doing it thought and give then the credit for that. there's a lot more to be done, the lieutenants of roger ailes and bill o'reilly, the people who covered up and silenced women for years. that all needs to go. they need to clean house and show us that they really do respect women. >> what do you make of these massive payouts? >> well, i think every woman gets to choose for herself what the right path is. i do a lot of sexual harassment cases. doing them for 30 years. some want to take

want to file a hewitt and some women like the one i came out two days ago wants to file an anonymous internal complaint so it's up to each woman to decide for herself. my job is to empower women and help them decide what's best. i don't judge anyone. everybody who speaks out against sexual harassment is helping all the other women. >> do you expect to see more allegations come out in the next days and weeks against bill o'reilly and fox news in general. >> yes, my phone has been ringing off the hook the last couple of weeks. i represented all of the o'reilly accusers for free. among of the ones who i represented asked to are a penny. >> do you think that made a big difference. >> yes, we've received a tidal wave of love online. i mean it's really been amazing, the support that we have received. yes. >> all right, lisa bloom, we appreciate you time this morning. thank you so much. lisa will be on "the view" later with one of her clients. bill o'reilly's latest sexual harassment accuser speaking publicly for the very first time again on "the view" later today. michael. >> all right, amy, coming up in two minutes serena williams,

>> get this, guys, because of the way the rankings work she's number two in the world right now. she'll go back to number one on monday without ever picking up a racket so that's more good news, guys, because people are hearing how amazing it was she won the grand slam while pregnant a lot of comment online. every man should shut up about everything ever after she just pulled this off. >> good universal advice. >> you got a better shot of winning that tennis title. i just want you to know that. joined by dr. jennifer ashton. we were talking about this. it just seems so amazing she's 20 weeks pregnant now. she won the australian open at 8 weeks pregnant but what was her body going through in first of all, as you remember at eight weeks of pregnancy the fee tut tus is about the size of a large raspberry, the uterus is eight weeks in size, eight centimeters. like you playing a football with a broken finger. she is an elite athlete. her body can do amazing things, say it with

a disease. and if i hear one more story of people saying, a pregnant woman, she's so fragile. if pregnant women were that fragile the human race would have ceased to exist hundreds of years ago. >> good point. i will say this at eight weeks that's when i started to feel my pregnancy and started to get nauseated and i felt pregnant. that was the line for me. but you mentioned she is an elite athlete. are there any unique concerns when you put your body through so much? >> no question. could she have been more fatigued, absolutely. could she have been a little nauseated, absolutely. we don't have a lot of great literature in obstetrics about elite at lets and training during pregnancy but what we do know, they can continue to behave and perform pretty much at their level, prepregnant, during most of their pregnancy, sport specific, of course. we don't want to see people skydiving or do things at high speed and general recommendations during pregnancy for both the eli

leanings, sexuality, whether they're suffering from medical or psychological problems and i would add god forbid anybody finds out i still listen to nickelback. what's really serious, though, the complaint alleges this data collection is a violation of the federal wiretap act. one thing that's weird to me, though, guys, bose did not respond to our many inquiries and haven't said anything on this. their privacy policy says they only share nonidentifiable data and only to make the app work better but i don't know, these days, you never know where your info is going. >> well, but that's the point. seems like every piece of technology, about every app and product can collect our data in some way. how do we pretext ourselfs? >> there's either giving up or fighting back little pieces at a time. the good news with these headfines, you can connect via bluetooth. you don't need their app. delete it and fire up settings to connect via bluetooth. >> i like

you're not the only one. we're in this together. that parenting alert about kids crossing the street. an important new study by researchers at the university of iowa it using virtual reality, whoo, to explain why kids are significantly more vulnerable to accidents while navigating traffic and, t.j., that's why you're here, man. what did this study show about crossing streets. >> if you have a child under the age of 14. not until 14 they start crossing the street like an adult would. let me give you results. 6-year-olds in the simulation were hit by cars 8% of the time. 8-year-olds were struck 6%. 12-year-olds were struck by cars 2% of the time. those seem like small numbers but huge and alarming to researchers. why does this happen? it found that the kids these ages can actually find the gaps, they know that it's time to go but they're delayed -- they'll delay crossing the street. the other thing is a matter of motor skills. play catch with a kid and throw the ball and it hits them in

hands. the timing is off and puts them at risk. >> every time i cross my daughter does do that hesitation. how does that simulator work? >> this virtual reality technology that's everywhere, they didn't put the kids out in the street. the kid timing it out trying to figure it out and a lot race across the street and so this is what they did to them in this simulation. when we put adults in the simulation and, of course, adults know how to cross the street but kids were hesitant getting across there in we are all parents that fall into the 12 and under kid range. a little scary. what do parents out there need to know to keep them safe. >> find a safe route. walking anywhere to school, if it's longer, fine, there needs to be a safe route. don't have them cross any street anywhere cars don't stop. has to be a stop light or stop sign. don't have them crossing in continuous traffic. you might need to call your local representative. you might need to touch base

ask them to say, hey, we need to set it up and have safe zones and have parents on duty. do not, the key, ever have them cross where there is continuous traffic? we talked about headphones. don't let them wear those when walking -- >> and looking at your phone. >> be careful out there, kids and, parent, look out for them. coming up, richard simmons is breaking his silence, plus great "deals & steals" for $20 or less. you don't want to miss that. you totaled your brand new car. nobody's hurt, but there will still be pain. it comes when your insurance company says they'll only pay three-quarters of what it takes to replace it. what are you supposed to do? drive three-quarters of a car? now if you had liberty mutual new car replacement™, you'd get your whole car back. i guess they don't want you driving around on three wheels. smart. with liberty mutual new car replacement™, 'll replace the full lue of your car. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance.
